About the role

  • These technologies are rapidly transforming agricultural intelligence, allowing farmers to make faster and more informed decisions that translate into highly precise actions and more productive farms.
  • Our first application solved one of the most disliked tasks on the farm: clearing rocks.
  • The annual emergence of news rocks impacts nearly half of farms in North America, slowing farming, damaging equipment, and causing downtime during seeding and harvesting.

Responsibilities

  • Work with the robotics team to architect, design and implement novel robotic systems for controlling ground-based rovers in farm fields
  • Develop test plans for component and system level testing and validation
  • Build and test systems in the field
  • Collaborate with the product team to clarify requirements
  • We are seeking a hands-on Senior Robotics Engineer with experience building real-world robotic systems.
  • You would join our team building the first autonomous ground-based mapper on the market.

Requirements

  • If there are preparations we can make to help ensure you have a comfortable and positive interview experience, please let us know.
  • Strong C++, Python skills & expertise in ROS or similar robotics software framework
  • Deep and current knowledge of robotics autonomy, including motion planning, localization, navigation, and sensor fusion
  • Working knowledge of low level controls, including trajectory tracking, feedback control, and state estimation
  • Experience integrating a wide range of sensing hardware, including LIDAR, cameras, other range-finding sensors, inertial navigation, GPS/GNSS sensors
  • Experience working in a Linux-based environment including modern software engineering practices, experience with git and pull reviews

Nice to have

  • Field robotics experience with developing new AGVs, UAVs, USVs, or UUVs
  • Knowledge of communication protocols including CANBUS, TCP/UDP and wireless communication
  • Knowledge of Rust
  • Experience with embedded systems, real time applications, PLCs and industrial automation technologies
  • Simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing experience
  • Experience with hydraulic and electrical actuators and systems

Compensation

  • Competitive base salary
  • 100% of premiums paid for employees and 85% of premiums paid for dependents
  • An inclusive and tight company culture that is mission driven
  • The annual emergence of news rocks impacts nearly half of farms in North America, slowing farming, damaging equipment, and causing downtime during seeding and harvesting.

Benefits

  • Leveraging our commercial success in rocks, we are now expanding our core technologies to new farm applications including the precise management of weeds, pests, disease and overall plant health.
  • We value learning directly from the farmers we serve, getting our hands dirty, and tackling tough challenges together.
  • Pre-IPO stock options (tax-advantaged ISOs)
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Generous paid time off and holidays
